Chiefs vs. Rams: 10 Observations

Here are 10 observations from Saturday night:

This is exactly the kind of performance we wanted to see from Alex Smith.

He completed 9 of 12 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown, including converting 4 of 5 third-down opportunities. That’s good enough for a passer rating of 139.9.

Smith helped lead the first-team offense to 2 touchdowns and a 17-14 lead late into the second quarter before he gave way to backup quarterback Nick Foles.

2. Smith and second-year receiver Chris Conley find connection

Just last week, second-year receiver Chris Conley talked about the chemistry and trust he’s been building with Smith, and Smith also spoke about the development he’s seen this year in Conley.
